The day the NYT broke that Manafort joined the Trump campaign, Lewandowski turned himself in to police for assaulting a Breitbart reporter a few weeks earlier. It dominated the news cycle for three days (Trump helped fuel the story), giving Manafort cover. Charges later dropped.
Lewandowski participated in a finance event with Nigel Farage in NYC last week, to help raise money for a new Brexit lobbying group that Bannon serves as an “informal advisor,” on. Bannon’s former company Cambridge Analytica played a big role in Brexit.

Who was one of Trump’s most vocal mouth pieces to advocate for Brexit in June 2016 after the vote that continues to cause chaos in the UK and is celebrated by Putin? Corey Lewandowski.

businessinsider.com/corey-lewandow…
Here’s a fun fact about Corey Lewandowski, Cambridge Analytica, and New Hampshire. Ted Cruz’s campaign manager provided Lewandowski with daily targeting data and other strategy advice during the 2016 NH primary to help Trump win and knock Kasich out.

politico.com/story/2016/12/…
Ted Cruz hired Cambridge Analytica in the 2016 primary. As the documentary “The Great Hack” explains, it’s a military weapon for disinformation campaigns. Mercer’s funded it, Bannon ran it.

CA went on strike in April and abandoned Cruz, helping seal Trump’s nomination.
Trump was in London for the Brexit vote and to see how well Cambridge Analytica could impact the outcome. He hired the firm shortly after. CA head, Brit Alexander Nix illegally shaped Trump campaign’s CA strategy and admitted to coordinating with Trump Super PACs.
While Cambridge Analytica no longer exists, it’s team, office space, strategy, & data do as Emerdata.

What are the chances Emerdata & Bannon will play a leading role in trying to elect Corey Lewandowski to U.S. Senate in NH if he runs? High. He shouldn’t be underestimated.

If the FBI considers conspiracies like PizzaGate to be domestic terrorist threats, which is spot on, then what does that make Michael Flynn and his son who were on the frontlines promoting the fringe conspiracy?

buzzfeednews.com/article/briann…
“In December 2016, a North Carolina man fired gunshots in the pizzeria allegedly in response to the false "pizzagate" story. At the time, Flynn wrote on Twitter: "Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it'll remain a story." - NBC News reported in 2017

nbcnews.com/news/us-news/m…
“Michael Flynn, 33, left the US president-elect's transition team on Tuesday following his tweets about the so-called Pizzagate fake news story.” - BBC reported in Dec. 2016

#MoscowMitch’s $26+ million net worth is not a mystery, as some imply. He got rich because of his corrupt wife Elaine Chaos’s family shipping dynasty. She’s also a national security threat as this article & others illustrate. Both should be investigated.

bostonglobe.com/ideas/2019/06/…
“McConnell & Chao received approximately $26 million from Chao’s family via direct gifts or campaign contributions. Chao’s sister runs the family’s shipping company. Chao has myriad connections w/ Chinese officials overseas, which may be helping her family secure business deals.”
“When it comes to companies like Foremost Group (Chao’s company), the term “American” is meaningless.

Yes, Foremost has an office in NY, but its ships — designed to carry dry bulk, including the coal and ore driving China’s insatiable development — are registered in Liberia.”

When the GOP talks about the “opportunity zones” program, remember that its one way Jared Kushner is funneling foreign money through his company Cadre, which he failed to disclose on his security clearance forms. theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
“Cadre recently announced plans to raise multimillion-dollar funds to invest in real estate developments in parts of the US covered by the Trump administration’s “opportunity zones” program, which offers valuable tax breaks to developers and investors.”

theguardian.com/us-news/2019/j…
“The names of the foreigners investing in Cadre via Goldman Sachs are not disclosed by the companies...Two sources familiar with the firm said much of the money came to the Cayman Islands vehicle from a second offshore tax haven, while some came from Saudi Arabia.”

(thread) Manafort’s crimes, presidential pardons, and GOP cynicism

lawfareblog.com/document-manha…
The NY DA charged Manafort with 16 counts of Residential Mortgage Fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. He falsified business records to illegally obtain millions of dollars.
1/ While we don’t learn much that’s new about Manafort, the larger picture comes into sharper focus.

This indictment reinforces what we’ve seen elsewhere: While managing Trump’s campaign, Manafort was brazenly breaking laws.
2/ Fourth and Fifth Counts (mortgage fraud) allege that the crimes occurred from Dec. 22, 2015 until August 18, 2016.

Manafort joined the Trump campaign on March 28. He resigned on Aug. 19, 2016.

Special counsel Mueller filed a new document today providing supporting evidence re. the allegation that Paul Manafort lied. The document is a 31-page sworn declaration from an FBI agent, and it is supplemented by a few hundred pages of exhibits.

courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Here, Mueller's filing shows that Paul Manafort gave permission for someone to name-drop him during a meeting with Trump. This was in May 2018, just a month before Manafort's bail was revoked for violating the terms of his house arrest. Mueller has the text message.
*wow*. Paul Manafort reportedly told Rick Gates in Jan. 2017 that he was using "intermediaries" to get people appointed in the Trump administration. That is new information.

How news media omissions distort Russia probe narrative ... and shield Democrats thehill.com/opinion/white-…
Counterintelligence investigations are by their very nature complex, nuanced and methodically slow, all facts that today’s news media outlets seem to ignore as they chronicle the Russia collusion probe.
The past week provided fresh examples of how journalists endlessly seeking to portray the Russia probe in black-and-white terms can misinform the public through omission, cherry-picking or lack of context.

#Manafort trial update: Federal judge approves jury of 6 men and 6 women to hear Special Counsel Mueller’s case. The panel of jurors deciding fmr Trump campaign mgr’s fate was plucked from Fairfax County, a part of Virginia that voted heavily against Trump abcn.ws/2AqQ9i9
#Manafort Trial: Mueller Team Opening Statement Paints Manafort as "shrewd liar," rich cheat & thief who acted above the law. Mind-blowing resemblance betw Manafort & disgraced patron Yanukovych, who also happens to be on trial now—for treason in Ukraine. cnn.com/2018/07/31/pol…
